Me and my big mouth, well I am nothing if not true to my word so here goes! My friend Chris (AKA Crafty Chris) posted an old photo of her with her best mate way back in their school days. I happened to mention what fun it would be to join in and get as many as possible to post an old (preferrably) school photo of themselves on their blog! Chris has reminded me daily (lol!!) to get my photo on so here goes!
I had an absolutely awful school photo of me doing the stupid pose of hand on cheek and looking aimlessly into the air - all instructed by the school photographer mind you, it sure wasn't my idea! Well, Ive been through all of my photos and I can't find that one anywhere, I have a feeling I did my usual, rip and shred action on it as it was so cringeworthy! That's the honest truth!
Instead Ive found a 3 others than I stupidly willing to share!
Above is my Nan, Mum, me and my oldest sister Jacky. Yeah, I was the late surprise to Mum aged 40! I like it as my Nan is in it as she was the only grandparent I ever met so she's pretty special to me.
oh blimey, I mean, what on earth am I doing posting this?? I guess Im about 7 here? This is my Dad's idea of 'smiling for the camera'!
and this is me with my nephew Lee. We got on great and were really close during his childhood years. This would have been taken at about the same age (@ 14) as me on the school photo so I thought Id better share it in lieu of the missing school one.
There we go, how cringing are 2 of these?!
If you fancy having a laugh too, add a photo or two from your childhood and let us know!
Ive off to be sedated now!

Keryn, I've just been playing on google reader to see how it worked, and it showed me your blog so i started to look at your latest posts. OMG you are so brave - not sure i'm this brave... but it would be good to take part - i might have to dig some out of my box.
Hope you are well

I love old photographs and yours are brilliant. Keeping a moment in time might mean little or nothing at the time but my goodness what a comfort in years to come. This generation will know nothing of the excitement of waiting to collect photographs from Boots and seeing which ones came out. They tell us too so much about how we were. I think your Dad and Gran, look wonderful. The sort of people you'd love to have known. Thank-you.
